Southern Californian punk and rock ‘n’ roll star Suzi Moon, alongside Pirates Press Records, has released a music video for “99 Miles to Pasadena.”
Unlike the previous videos off of the LP, this will be the first one to be animated. It was done by Tommy Keeling, giving loving hints towards a classic cartoon from Hanna-Barbera. “Josie & The Pussycats is my ultimate fave!” enthuses Suzi. “Tommy made my Archie dreams come true!!”
Suzi Moon says of the album
“These songs are a bit warmer and power-pop than my previous releases. They’ve been baked in the California sunshine, like the song ’99 Miles to Pasadena,’ which I wrote while running laps around The Rose Bowl. I picked songs that fit together nicely but also offer a lot of variation, so you’re getting more of a full ride with this album than you did with the EPs!
“The 10 tracks on ‘Dumb & In Luv’ represent growth and the human condition. Themes of love, loss, heartache, hope, and celebration are all ones that I have written about before and will certainly revisit again and again. My first EP, ‘Call The Shots,’ had a straightforward, punk ’n’ roll sound; my second EP, ‘Animal,’ was a bit more melodic, and ‘Dumb & In Luv’ is really a mix of those two styles, seeped in the influence of all those great California bands that influenced me while I was growing up, like Social Distortion, Rancid, Green Day, and Sugarcult.”
